Family Law
Divorce
The law office of Elizabeth R. Ondriezek, P.A., is uniquely qualified to provide representation in divorce, post-divorce, parenting time (child custody), and child and spousal support matters. The firm's attorneys understand that these issues are emotionally complex and that decisions you make during these times will affect the rest of your life.
Parenting Time (Child Custody)
No issues of family law are more important or potentially stressful than those related to parenting time. To prevail, the law requires a passionate and skilled advocate. As a parent herself, Ms. Ondriezek is the compassionate and experienced guide you need to resolve difficult family issues.
Support
A person who is divorcing may be entitled to spousal and/or child support. The process of determining each type of support is often complex and full of nuances. Ms. Ondriezek will thoroughly assess your right to each, then fight for the amounts you and your children deserve.
Division of Assets and Debts
Ms. Ondriezek is a Certified Public Accountant and highly qualified to resolve financial matters. She is one of the very few family law attorneys in Jacksonville to hold this demanding dual qualification. Ms. Ondriezek has also worked in the mortgage industry, giving her special expertise in managing the complications involved in dividing and selling real estate and refinancing debt associated with real estate. She understands the complex issues that arise in the equitable distribution of all that you have worked so hard to acquire.
Paternity
A paternity case may be filed by either parent when they conceive a child together, are unmarried, and wish to establish parental rights and/or responsibilities, including the calculation of child support, designation of parental responsibility for health insurance and other child-related expenses. Ms. Ondriezek enjoys representing either parent in a paternity matter and will fight zealously for you.
Mediation Services
Ms. Ondriezek is also a Supreme Court-certified family law mediator. This means she can meet with parties seeking to resolve family law issues and help them draft an agreement that will allow them to avoid the stress and unknown outcome of a trial or further court hearings. Settling your case through mediation also saves you time and money. You may attend mediation with or without an attorney representing your interests. Ms. Ondriezek’s positive, calm demeanor and “win-win” approach to these cases is especially beneficial to the parties seeking resolution in this way. Her special insight and training in this area also benefits her clients when she represents them in the mediation process.
